Hi all 1st post for me.
I picked up my Tinkerboard the other week and aside from its need to have a good solid power unit its been easy to set up and i'm rather pleased with it, except for one thing.
My prime reason for getting this was for its use of OpenGLES3.1 (maybe 3.2) which as a programmer is very interesting to me and gives this board a technical boost on all its competition.
Sadly however after running GLMark to test the perofrmance its clear that it does not currently have hardware acceleration, so the drivers are basically emulating OpenGLES3.0
Does anyone know if Asus will be supplying a TinkerOS with proper video drivers? Without them its missing a major chance to take a technical lead.

I'm hoping they are doing this. From what I saw in this videon EC youtube channel (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl...oSKY#t=466) the product somehow was released to stock before software was ready, so I guess we have to wait and see what happens. Been quite disappointed with the product so far, but I guess this makes me think it might become better!
So..I've been mega busy the last few months, and still am, so not had a chance to return to my Tinkerboard, its been in the drawer, as I work on book about coding SBC's.
One of my book projects key requirements is to use an OS supplied as is, by the maker of 3rd party, and not go into any effort to manually build an OS, or add drivers. So...now that a few months have past, does the current OS build have onboard ES3.0/3.1 drivers and actual hardware acceleration? Is it time to take it out the drawer or shall I just carry on with machines which do have their ES2/3.0 drivers in place?

What are the first lines printed by glmark2 ? If they contain "Mesa", you're not using the right drivers, or something went wrong when initialising them.
It recognized the Mali 760 but only gave a score of 48, pretty poor

Hi, please have a look our reply at this thread.

You need help to check competitor SBC's setting, like CPU's frequency, V-Sync, etc.
And we got the score is 308 via glmark2-es2 at performance and disable V-Sync mode before. (TinkerOS 1.9)
